People attend a rally for racial justice on the one year anniversary of the police shooting of Rayshard Brooks, in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., June 12, 2021. - REUTERSPIX: Two white Atlanta police officers will not face charges for the 2020 fatal shooting of a Black man who was shot twice in the back, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Brooks’ death came less than a month after that of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man killed by police in Minneapolis, and added fuel to nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. After a brief struggle, Brooks fled with one of the officers’ Tasers and fired it at them as he was running away. Rolfe shot Brooks twice in the back.
In another high-profile case, a former Louisville detective pleaded guilty on Tuesday to providing false information to obtain a search warrant for Breonna Taylor’s home that led to a 2020 raid in which the Black woman was fatally shot. Goodlett and two other officers were facing federal charges for falsifying the warrant, while a fourth was charged with using excessive force by opening fire during the raid, which was part of a drug trafficking case against Taylor’s ex-boyfriend.
